It works with the factory FOB. They will be removing it on Friday.

Well turns out the dealer installed an aftermarket alarm in the car. It’s by Rockledge. They didn’t charge me for it or try to upsell me on it. No paperwork says I have it. I just looked up the manual and I can turn down the sensitivity once I find the little black box. If that doesn’t work I’ll...

Ok so guess what. I figured out that if the alarm is on (and I kick the car or push it so it rocks, the horn will go 7 short horns. So this means that the car alarm does have some time of motion sensor. If I kick the car again right away after the 7 horns, the alarm goes off. This is not...

I made an appointment for next week. I had a previous car alarm that had a proximity sensor so if someone got close or leaned on the car it would do the multiple beeps things as a warning before it would go off. I didn't know if the new 4runner had that type of sensor in its factory alarm.

No mods at all. The car is brand new with 2000 miles on it. I bought it from the dealer last month. My previous 4runners, I would hear that pump you talk about running by the spare tire. This is just random beeps, seems to be happening more often now than when I got it a month ago. The first...

It is the horn, not the beeps. I haven't test the battery. The car is a month old so I didn't think it would be a low battery.

Hello, I just got a new 2024 4runner ORP. This is my 4th 4runner and the first to have this weird issue. It will be locked and sitting in my driveway and then randomly the horn with go off with 7 short beeps and then nothing. When I disarm it, the horn with go off with 2 short beeps...

2018 TRD ORP ICON Stage 1 3" lift, Black Rhino Warlord 17x8" Gunmetal, 285/70R17 Toyo Open Country AT 2.

Scottsdale, AZ. I think I could have gotten another $700 off. I miscalculated my OTD number while I was there.

I just got 2018 TRD offroad premium for $38,100. It's only option was sunroof and $90 for a shiny exhaust tip. Out the door was $41,700.

I did not have any issues with the dashcam thinking it was in storage mode. Maybe they changed their product because I thought I would have to modify it. The dashcam I bought was a no brand one called Old Shark for $24.

I hardwired my dashcam to the rearview mirror power today. Snapped a few shots before I closed it all up. I used the EDO Tech® Ultra Compact 5V USB Direct Hardwire Adapter Kit. The kit ends in a USB port, so I also got a USB to mini-usb adapter. I did it this way so that in the future if I...

Thanks for all the responses everyone. I'm past the days of DIY. I just want to drop it off and come back and pick it up later. I really don't mind paying $500 to get the shocks installed. I understand that shops need to make money and mark up things. The hard part I'm having is the large...

My 1999 4Runner Limited had new shocks and struts installed at 130k miles. Last summer I was in Colorado and did some minor offroading and pretty sure I blew both rear struts. Anyway I need new ones. The local Midas quoted me $800+tax (Monroe sensi-trac) and Fletchers $465+tax (Monroe base...

My thump just disappeared and has never come back. In fact I have had a few problems that just never happened again and it's been a few years. :)
